Comparison of Simulated High Altitude Pilot Effective Performance Time Between Habitual Smokers and Non-Smokers [PDF]
, 2003 Smoking attenuates the amount of oxygen that diffuses from the lung tissue and oxygenates the blood (Guyton, 1996). High altitudes attenuate the oxygen available for transport to the blood.

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1979 Summary In studies concerned with the performance at high altitude it is often not possible to separate the effects which are due to hypoxia from those associated with the stress of ascent. Some of the basic observations concerning exercise at high altitude are reviewed and a study is described which was designed to simulate the physical

The Role of Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide in High‐Altitude Headache: A Prospective Field Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective High‐altitude headache (HAH) is a common neurological condition associated with rapid ascent to high altitude. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying HAH remain incompletely understood. Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide implicated in migraine pathophysiology, may play a key role in the pathophysiology of ...
